Noodle Salad with Asian Peanut Dressing

I apologize for being away from the blog for a couple of days – had to help my mother in law find a new apartment in California – but I’m back now, at least until I actually move her. This is an old picture I took of a quick and easy Asian-inspired peanut dressing over noodles. Sorry for such a rushed post, but at least you’ll have something to try until I get cooking again this week! This is one of those cold noodle salads that you can totally improvise with – and other crunchy vegetables, or just noodles, or stick in some shredded chicken or shrimp for some extra protein. And the ingredients I’m suggesting are just estimates – as you put this together taste it and decide if you want more salty flavor (add soy), more acidity (add more vinegar), more kick (add more ginger or chili sauce), or a toned down flavor (add more canola oil).
